CCSD Getting Political, Liberally

You think CCSD would allow opposing views from conservatives?
At the school I teach at, us teachers have been mandated to pass out flyers about a meeting about ObamaCare and the organization holding the rally is called "Organizing for Action".
From the Huffington Post:  President Barack Obama may have run the last campaign of his career, but his political organization is not going away. In an unprecedented step for the campaign of a sitting president, Obama for America is relaunching itself ahead of the president's second inauguration as a social welfare nonprofit group called Organizing for Action.
First reported Thursday night by the Los Angeles Times and Politico, the new group will use the Obama campaign's extensive collection of data and manpower to push the president's agenda from outside the confines of the Democratic Party structure, while giving grassroots supporters a voice in deciding which issues the nonprofit will focus on.
Jim Messina, Obama's 2012 campaign manager and the chair of Organizing for Action, explained the relaunch in an e-mail to staffers and donors, "It will be a supporter-driven organization, as we've always been, staying true to our core principles: 'respect, empower, include.'"
"We'll work on the key battles of our generation, train the next generation of grassroots organizers and leaders, and organize around local issues in our own communities," Messina continued. "We'll continue to support the President in creating jobs and growing the economy from the middle out, and in fighting for issues like immigration reform, climate change, balanced deficit reduction, and reducing gun violence." ...
"It's important to note that there's a difference between creating a 501(c)(4) to advance a legislative agenda versus one like Crossroads that was created just to elect people," Smith said.

Clearly, this is a political organization.
Some things from the flyer:
"DAY OF ACTION!"
"OBAMACARE: BETTER COVERAGE, LOWER COST:
Health insurance that fits your budget and is there when you need it."
(well, that's a matter of opinion, not fact)
It also puts down links to political organizations.

So, now, CCSD is using school money, classroom time and facilities to promote a political agenda and a rally.  This is clearly illegal per Nevada law.
And again, do you think they will allow opposing view points?
